Basic Camera Setup: The Setup Menu

kAuto Off

If no operations are performed for the selected length of time, the monitor will turn off and the camera enters standby mode (A 15) to reduce drain on the batteries. The power-on lamp blinks in standby mode. If no operations are performed for another three minutes, the camera will turn off automatically.

To exit from standby mode, press the power switch or the shutter-release button. Choose the time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode if no operations are performed from 30s, 1m (default setting), 5m, and 30m.

CNotes on Auto Off

Regardless of the option selected, the monitor will remain on for three minutes when 30s or 1m is selected for Auto off and menus are displayed, for up to 30 minutes during slide show and Pictmotion movie playback, and for 30 minutes when an AC adapter is connected.
